Which See-Through Fireplace is Right For You?

Deciding you want a see-through fireplace, the next step is getting more specific about the type of fireplace that will best fit your space. Here are the most important variables to consider:

• Fuel Type: Direct-vent gas (like the Empire Boulevard 48”) for strong heat and real flames, or electric (like the Napoleon CLEARion Elite) for flexible installation without venting.
• Viewing Width: Ranges from compact 30-36” openings to large 60-72”+ units that make an architectural statement.
• Framing Depth: Most gas units require 18-24” framing. Electric units typically need 8-12”.
• Heat Output: Gas models offer 25,000-40,000+ BTUs. Electric units just provide ambiance with moderate supplemental heat.
• Venting Requirements: Direct-vent models need a coaxial pipe, while electric units can be installed pretty much anywhere without hassle. 
• Design Style: Clean-face linear vs traditional log-set appearance.
• Indoor vs Indoor-Outdoor: Some see-through gas fireplaces are rated for dividing indoor AND covered outdoor spaces, which makes them more versatile.

Our fireplace specialists are here to help you choose the right model, size, and fuel type if you have any questions or uncertainties along the way. Don’t play the guessing game. Get in touch today to take the next step!

Frequently asked questions

What is a see-through fireplace called?

We also see these referred to as a double-sided fireplace, a two-sided fireplace, or even a see-thru fireplace depending on the manufacturer. 

How deep is a see-through fireplace?

It depends. Gas models need 18-24 inches of framing depth while electric units tend to be shallower, and might just need 8-12 inches.

Can a see-through fireplace heat two rooms at once?

Yes, as long as it’s a gas fireplace. Electric fireplaces don’t provide much in the way of heat.

Can a see-through fireplace heat two rooms at once?

Again, it depends on whether we’re talking about a gas or electric fireplace. Gas models need proper framing, venting, and clearances, which calls for a licensed installer. But whether you’re looking for a simple see-through fireplace or a 3-sided fireplace, you can find the perfect fit here!
